Dual boot XBMC and Raspbian?

[teeth_03]

Basically, i want to setup my SD card so when you boot it up, you select Raspbian (Desktop interface) or XBMC from a boot menu. I dont want it to auto boot into anything.

Do any of the 3 XBMC distros have this as an option? XBMC is great and all, but i would still like access to the desktop interface.

If none of them have an option, could i install one and change the boot settings? If so, which one would work?

The easiest way would be to just install XBMC in Raspbian: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 66&t=12455

What is the difference between XBMC and Raspbian ?

[C-Fu]

I did this by
1. Install Raspbian
2. Install RetroPie
3. under RetroPie-Setup, I installed Kodi
4. Made RetroPie boot automatically (instead of Raspbian/startx)
5. Under EmulationStation, you can select Raspbian or Kodi (or DosBox or any of the emulators)

This is the best way IMO. Another way would be to use either BerryBoot, or NOOBS (OpenElec + Raspbian).
